Over the years I have subscribed to quite a few Photography, Computer and other magazines, and never threw them out as I wanted to reread them, or so I thought, but over the years they accumulated so much I never got the time to go back through them all and ended up throwing them out. I felt quite disappointed doing this as I felt there was a lot of interesting info, facts, tips etc gone forever. So I decided to get organized and bought about 4or 5 ring binders, some A4 plastic sheets and some large (for the side of the binder) and small stickers.
From then on every time I read a magazine, any interesting ideas, tips etc would be cut out and the page or pages would be placed in a plastic sleeve, the pages numbered and with a blank sheet of paper I wrote the contents and corresponding page number on it, the sheet went to the front of the ring binder in a plastic sheet just like how a book is organized. For each different magazine I used a different binder and on the side of the binder I would label it, what I found was that over time if I wanted a quick read I actually took out a binder from my shelf and would read anything in there just like a book, over time old articles etc get replaced, or if I have digested the information enough I replace with new material. Not only does this keep the binder up to date but it makes you want to read it.
